THE LEGISLATIVE DEAL Supporters of Both Men Worklnpr to tlic Suinc End Governor Confers "With Tilmon Ford LckIm- latlve Timber. SALEM. Feb. 2. After a very notice able lull during the recent cold weather, political 'affairs among 'Republicans in Marlon County have -again assumed a state of activity. Numerous political vorkers from various parts of the county were in the city Saturday, and the lead. ers were enabled to learn something of the lay of the land in come of the county precincts. Not many politicians visited Salem from other parts of the state this "week, and It is expected that few will be ficen here until after the State Central Committee meets the last of this week. SIuton-Gccr Union Evident. From the general talk on the .streets yesterday, and from what has leen learned in the past month. It Is evident that the people regard the coming cam paign as a tight between the supporters of Simon and Geer on the one hand, and the anti-Simon and anti-Geer people on the other. "The Simon-Geer people" Is an, expression too often heard to leave any doubt as to the view generally taken of the lines that are being drawn. When Senator Simon visited Salem shortly prior to hid departure for "Washington, he had a confoionce with Governor Geer and his supporters, and it was then quite gen erally supposed that some tort of under standing had been reached between the two candidate? for re-election. As time has revealed the situation more clearly, it is observed that the friends of Simon and the friends of Geer are working to the same end, and this confirm. the opin ion that the Senator Is to get the help of Geor's friends in Marion County, in re turn for Simon's support for Geer in Multnomah. To put the matter in a more definite form: Geers friends here will try to send a delegation to the Leg. islature faVorable to 'Fimon, and in re turn Simon will cn. r to give Geer the Multnomah de! . ti in the Stat'1 Convention. It is ,y possible that this is not the plan, i at leaders in the political combat beILe this h the ar rangement that has been made, and the trend of events strengthens the belief Looney ami Smith. Opponed by Geer. One circumstance that Js strong evi dence of a Simon-Geer union is the fact that some of Geer's closest friends are opposing X. H. Looney and Dr. J. X. Smith in their candidacv for the State Senate. Loomy and Smith are both anti Simon men. but Looney has'alwav been friendly to Grer. "Little Doc." as Smitn is generally called, !. making an optn. vigorous .and uncompromising tight against Geer and It would be natural to txpect that Geer'r, friends would return the fire; but the opposition to Loonev can not be accounted for upon any "other ground than that Geer's friends mu.u keep anti-Simon men out of the legisla ture. Dr. Smith Is an avowed candidate for a seat In the Senate, and if he suc ceeds he will be the last man in that body to vote for Simon for United States Senator. Crolrnn Jleljii Geer. Another evidence of an understanding ootwten Simon and Gror ij the fact that Ed Crolsun, Simons fins: lieutenant in this county, is consulting with Geer's friends, and is receiving their assistance. Croisan is generally conceded to be the best all-round political worker in the county and makes no secret of his efforts In behalf of Simon. He docs not confirm the report that he is also working for Geer's nomination, but his attitude to ward the Geer pcoph leads to the con. elusion that he is doing what he can for the Govcr:or. Case of Queer Kerf-Fellows. Crolsan's position is an illustration of the old saying that "politics makes queer bed-fellows." Four years ago Croisan was Superintendent of the Reform School and worked with his usual vigor against Geer for Governor. Consequently one of Geer's early acts was to aid in the elec tion of Croisan's successor. The latter gentleman has had little political love for Geer since that time, and it is gen erally supposed that he has forgotten old scores only because it Is for Simon' In terest for him to do so. So far as .Marion County is concerned, Geer could not have made a combination that would have given him a more re sourceful leader than Croisan. At the same time, Marion County is not a Simon county, and the question is, whether the ultimate results will prove the combina tion a profitable one. Simon'n only hope in this county was to get the support of Geer's friends, and if he has any friends in the Marion County delegation in the next Legislature, It will be through the efforts of the Geer men, working -under the directions of Ed CroU-an. Legislative Timber Talked Of. In this state of affa.rs, the Legislative slate is certain to cut no small llgure in the Gubernatorial Tight. Not many names have yet been used in discussing legis lative matt.-rs, probably because both sides are feeling their way carefully be fore making alliances that might prove embarrassing. Thus far the Simon-Geer people have been heard to speak favorably of J. M. Poorman, W. H. Hobson Henry M. Keene. J. H. Settlemelr and 'Lot L. Pearce. for seats in the Legislature. The antl-Simon-Geer people talk of Dr. J. X. Smith, Xod Looney, Alex Lafollett. J. S. Ritchie and Abner Lewis. This is not saying that any one of these men wearo the collar of any political faction, but it does mean that a man who is satis factory to -the Simon-Geer -people will not be satisfactory to the anti-Slmon-Geer people, and vice versa. Marlon County will have live Representatives two Senators, and a joint Senator with Linn County. The names mentioned above are only a small part of those that will be before the county convention. In addi tion to those given, the names of Frank Davoy, L. J. Adams and C. P. Biphop are heard, but thus far their names have not been identified with either faction. Where Is Tilmon Fordf A conference that took place last Thurs day evening between Tilmon Ford and Governor Geer has been the subject of some political gossip this week. Ford is pne of the Republican leaders who Is al ways to be considered in a political cam paign, and hence the Interest taken In his unusual call at at the Executive Ofiice after office hours. Geer and Ford have been political rivals since time Imme morial, and Ford has thus far been classed with the anti-Gcer people in the present contest. Those who know Til Ford's habits say he did not go to the Governor's offlcc without being invited, and that his visit has some political sig nificance. It is known that Ford has always been a political ally of Ed. Croisan, and an enemy of Dr. J. X. Smith. In view pf all these facts it Is assumed by political leaders that although those who pretend to know say that Geer and Ford met to talk "business," yet the re sult of the conference will be that Ford will stay out of the Gubernatorial fight. Pnrt of the Liiie-Up. Among the prominent men who are ac tively supporting the Geer-ca,usc in, this county are W. L. Jones, of Brooks, Alonzo Gesner; Salera J. M. Poornian, of Woodburn. and M. L. Chamberlain and Bi. Geer, of Salem. leaders In the ranks of the opposition are Dr. J. X. Smith, Salem, Walter L. Tooze, Woodburn. F. T. V.'rlghtman. Salem, J. H. McXary, Salem, F. W. Waters, Salem. W. J. CInrk Ik in the FIlit. Friends of W. J. Clark, of Gervals, take exception to the recent statement that the light In this county Is between Geer and Wrightman. Clark Is a candidate for the ofiice of ate Printer and, of course, cannot get the nomination if Geer should be renominated. Wrightman Is a candidate for the Attorney-General's office, and likewise cannot succeed If Geer should be renominated. This county cannot expect two state ofiices. Mr. Clark's friends say It Is a case of Geer against all opponents, and that if Geer should be defeated, the nomination of either Wrightman or Clark does not necessarily follow, but each of these gen tlemen will then have a chance. Mani festly both of these men will work for county delegations favorable to them selves, and consequently unfavorable to Goer. The County Ticket. There has been some discussion of can didates for county offices during the past week. Persons mentioned for the Sher iff's office are W. A. Taylor, of Maclcay, and C. D. Hartman. of Scott's Mills; for County Clerk. John W. Roland, of Salem, and Frank Blackerly. of Silverton; for Recorder, Fred A. Legg, of Salem, and John Siegmund, of Gervals. Other offices have not received much attention as yet. There Is some Indication that candidates for the Republican nomination for county offices will be affected, more or less, by thelr relation to the main contest In the campaign, but all candidates are trying to keep out of all fights except their own. RESPONSIBLE FOR CUTTING Railway Olllcinl Minnies the Inter state Commerce Commission. LOUISVILLE. Feb. 2. That the Inter state Commerce Commission Itself Is to blame for the ratccuttlng which It con demns in Its last annual report Is the claim made by Walker H. Hins, first vice-president of the Louisville & Xash ville Railway Company, In a -pamphlet that he has jut issued. Mr. HInes has given special attention to this subject. Ho says: "The commission endeavors, as it has done for years, to excite support for Its demand for more power by describing the prevalence of secret ratccuttlng. It held new investigations at Chicago and Kan sas City to disclose conditions which It has known for years, delaying the publi cation of its report so as to give the results of these hearings. "The Indisputable fact must be kept before the public that the prevalence of ratecutting is an unanswerable argument against giving the commission more pow er, because It is due principally to the commission's utter failure to perform its manifest duty. "The paramount purpose of the law was to secure publicity and the maintenance of, tariff rates. It Is the express duty of the commission to "keep advised and en force the law. It has the widest possible "powers of Investigation, including the right to call for the production of all books, documents and papers, and it can require the District Attorneys of the United States to prosecute all violators. These powers have been upheld by the courts. The commission, however, has not only faileel to devote its time and en orgy to discovering and prosecuting viola tions of the law, but it has by Its su plneness acquiesceel in and encouraged them, and has done all in Its power to break down the force of the act and make it a dead letter by constantly proclaiming that the courts have made Its enforce ment impossible, whereas not a single decision has Impaired the commission's power to prevent ratccuttlng. "As an Illustration of its methods, it states In Its last annual report that the courts have held that to convict for pay ing a rebate It is necessary to show not merely that the railroad company paid a rebate to a particular shipper, but It must also be shown that it did not pay the same rebate to some other shipper, which as a practical matter Is almost Impossible. This statement Is not true. The very de cision referred to distinctly holds that the mere fact of paying a rebate from the tariff rate Is In itself an offense, regard less of what was paid to anybody else, and the act makes this offense punish able bj a fine, which may be as much as 55030 for each instance where the tariff rate has been departed from. "The commission seems to have made in vestigations upon the subject, not to en force the act, but simply to advertise Its contention that the act Is not enforceable. Moreover, no part of the new power now asked by the commission would have the remotest tendency to prevent this rate cutting, and the report shows that this Is now the evil to be contended with. "I make no attempt to excuse the rail ways for violating the law. but I insist that the commission's attitude is inex cusable. Offended because the courts over ruled Its erroneous assumptions of power In other directions. It has been sulking for years, trying to create the false Im pression that the act" is worthless, arid seeking to ue the ratecutting. which It could and ought to have prevented, as a basis for demanding radical powers which would in no way tend to correct it." YOUNG LU IN FAVOR. Tivo Reform Edicts Issued by the Chinese Empress. PEKIX, Feb. 2.

Wang Wen Shao has been advanced to the Second Grand Sec retaryship to succeed Yung Lu. The pil grimage of Yung Lu was made with cor slderable pomp. He denied the fact of his responsibility for the attacks upon the foreign legations. The Dowager Empress has Issued two edicts, the first reciting that many Chin ese had formerly studied abroad, but were not Manchus, and orders the, Man chu courtiers and Generals to nominate Manchus between the ages of 15 and 23 to go abroad, thero to study foreign branches of knowledge. The second edict abolishes the prohibition of Intermarriage between Manchus and Chinese, which has been enforced since the beginning of the i dynasty, and directs officials, by diplo matic methods, to discourage the binding of the feet of Chinese female children, because this Is a barbarous custom.

OREGON'S A World's Fair in 1905, the centennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition, is now heralded, and Portland is beginning to prepare for the display. The year 1805 is a landmark in the history of the English speaking race, a greater landmark, perhaps, than some of the Portland committeemen have estimated. It has a three-fold significance, and in 1905 English speaking people in all parts of the world ought to re member that great year. In the Far West Lewis and Clark were doing the work of the pioneer, and doing it nobly. The)- tow ered above the adventurer, the gold hunter, the trap per, the ordinary representatives of advance move ments. In their devoted friendship, their upright con duct to ward the Indians, their unwearied search for useful knowledge, they set an example which our noble Caucasian race has not always followed. Jeffer son was a shrewd judge of men, but he never judged more wisely than when he chose Meriwether Lewis to head that famous exploring band. From his school boy dars Jefferson had yearned to see a time when the might' West should no longer be a terra incog nita. One of the best American schoolmasters of the 18th century was the Rev. James Maury, an ancestor of the famous navigator. Maury was an enthusiastic student of geography, and pored over the crude maps of his generation as Columbus had pored over maps still Ynore crude. In Jefferson Maury found a pupil after his own heart. The boy longed to know more about the strange lands to the northwest, and when the man became President the boyish dream was realized. In 1905 the country may well pause to read the story of Lewis and Clark. Philadelphia Public Ledger. and was broken up before the life savers reached her. The crew of the bark was drowned. Much North Sea wreckage is washing ashore at Shccrncss. The mail steamer Marie Henrietta smashed a wheel on her way from Dover to O.stend. and became unmanageable after that. Her passengers had a terrible experience. The Marie Henrietta was short of fuel and provisions, but managed Saturday and Sunday with difficulty to re-provlsion from other boats. It was Impossible for her to take more coal. The tut- struiinc hv the Marie Henrie-tta attempting to tow her were also short J of coal. A steam pacnei win iv.i v.--tend this morning to tow the steamer to that port. The hazardous operation of transferring provisions in a life boat to the disabled craft was accomplished with, great difficulty. The engineers of tho steamer disconnected her broken wheel and managed to maintain slight head way with the other wheel. The Dovcr-Ostend service is again sus pended todav. The Calais-Dover Channt4 service Is also suspended, the boats now plvlng to Boulonge instead. The other Channel vessels were maintained with difficulty last night. Dover reports the present unabatlng gale to be the most severe In years, and that it is accom panied with unusual cold. There has been considerable minor damage to shipping on the Thames at London. Snow Storm nt Pari. PARIS. Feb. 2. The heaviest snow storm of the Winter commenced here early this afternoon and continued until dark, covering the streets of the city to a depth of several Inches, seriously Im peding traffic and forcing the electric street cars to suspend service. The snow storms continue at many points In the provinces, especially in the south and along the Rivera. The carnival at Cannes, which should have commenced today, has been postponed on account of the weather. The violent gales prevailing nlong the coasts of France have caused numbers of minor shipping casualties. Much snow has fallen at Madrid and elsewhere in Spain, accompanied by great cold. The Alps In the neighborhood of Sim plon are covered with snow to the depth of seven feet, and many Alpine villages have been completely isolated. "WILL RE3IODEL HER OFFER.

An anchor was thrown cut from the balloon, but the cable broke. The balloon was- then driv en over the village of Zwyndrecht. fol lowed by an excited crowd watching the desperate efforts of the aeronauts. Dr. Llnke sprang from the balloon when at a height of 15 feet and Captain ven Sleg field tried to do likewise, but the latter became entangled In ropes and remained hanging by his left foot. The balloon was carried on for 200 yards further, dragging him head downward. The peasants then secured the balloon with ropes and found that Von Selgfield's- head was shattered and his spine broken.

Kozloff, the explorer of Thibet, who i recently reached Irkutsk, made a de ! tailed report of his expedition on arriv . ing at that city. From local papers the 1 following points were taken: ! Captain Kozloff (who has been a mem ! her of an earlier exploring expedition to i Thibet), accompanied by Mr. Ladyguin. a linguist. Officer Kaznakoff and 16 sol ' diers, entered the Desert of Gobi, on the CENTENNIAL. eastern slope of the Altai Mountains, in July, 1S99. The party traversed the desert in three columns. It was found that tho desert was not a plain, but was inter sected by a chain of hills running from northwest to southeast. The party re assembled at Sinlk and proceeded to Zaidam, passing northward of the ICoko- Xor. Part of the baggage was left un der guard of four men In Zaidam. The explorers quickly penetrated the Thibetan highlands, reaching a height of 17,000 feet In a few days. The climate was severe, but both vegetable life and animal life were found In plenty. Large herds of yaks and koulans (wild asses), and numerous wild bears were met. Three skins equal In size to skins of polar bears were brought back. The population of the valleys are Tangutes. They live as nomads, follow ing their herds of cattle. They are war like, and are armed with guns, sabres and pikes. Another tribe, the Gnlyks, keep herds and raise wheat and barley on the slopes. Their houses are two or three stories in height and are built of clay and stones. At a distance they look like small towers. The Galyks feared re prisals for the murder of the Frenchman. Dutrell de Rheins In 1S96, which, they explained, was due to his entering a tem ple. Captain Kozloff reported that a strong antl-Britlsh feeling prevails among the Thibetans. They gave the expedition no trouble until, having crossed the Hoangho and the Yangtse, the explorers ap proached the Me Kong River, when the natives tleclarcd the visitors must return. Two hundred men fired from ambush as the Russians were crossing the Dsa Chu, but the latter by the use of their rifles, drove them off after two hours ffghtlng. Twenty natives were killed and 17 others wounded. Soon after an embassy came from Chondo to beg Captain Kozloff not to go to That, the second religious capital of the country. The request was heeded. Captain Kozloff remaining where he was until a portion of his company had ex plored eastward to the Yangtse. Three months were spent making collections of rare and hitherto unknown animals. The return Journey was begun In the middle of March. The Chondon authori ties sent guides and gifts for the Czar out of gratitude to Captain Kozloff for remaining away from that place. On their way the explorers were attacked by Tangutes, but Russian rities were vic torious. The second attack was made from an ambush. Captain Kozloff. how ever, had expected it and sent part of his men to fall upon the enemy s rear. Through the Influence of a Lama of a neighboring convent, the Tangutes were persuaded not further to molest the Rus sians. The return to Zaidam was there after without danger. Kiachta (Siberia), was reached by way of Urga (Mongolia), In Xo ember. 1S01. The party marched 14.000 verats. Topo graphical surveys were made and as tronomical observations wero conducted at Zaidam for H months. The transpor tation of the collections gathered by the expedlUon required the use of 50 camels. German Meat Inspection. BERLIX. Feb. 2. The long delay of the Bundesrath In Issuing the regulations ad ministering the meat law appears to be elue to the difficulty of classifying meat products.
